Door hinge pin

"96 Safari drivers door is starting to sag. Is there a hinge pin and bushing kit available? If so where can I find it?
Given the hinges are welded to the truck, are they changed in place?
Thanks

Re: Door hinge pin

pins and bushings are available from most auto parts suppliers.. you will need help if your changing them. someone to assist you in holding the door. it's very heavy. I used a cold chisel to shear the top of the bushing as it wouldn't come out.. then it just fell out... as long as the seat for the bushings are not worn you should be ok.. the bushing has to to seat firmly in to hold pin in place .. i used locktite on bushings.. hope this helps

Re: Door hinge pin

Thanks. I did find the pin kit at an autoparts store. The more things that change the more they stay the same. Looks like the same kit that I have used in the past. I can't believe that the hinges are welded both sides. How would you replace a door and adjust it?

Re: Door hinge pin

BFH. Body shops have the tools for that. If you use a BFH on cars nowdays they will fall apart.

Re: Door hinge pin

Tools like what? Grinder and a welder? Not user friendly. I love how they build this crap knowing or maybe hoping it won't last.
